Those of us who have watched the process have said that the Earth Summit has failed … Multinational corporations, the United States, Japan, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund have got away with what they always wanted … the Summit has ensured increased domination by those who already have power. Worse still, it has robbed the poor of the little power they had. It has made them victims of a market economy that has thus far threatened our planet … few negotiators realised how critical their decisions are to our generation. By failing to address such fundamental issues as militarism, the regulation of transnational corporations, the democratisation of international aid agencies and the inequitable terms of trade, my generation has been damned.’ –
Wagaki Mwangi, Kenyan, Youth delegate to the Earth Summit
